So I have recently developed an app for the windows store, I packaged it into an APPX package. The problem is that windows auto installs it into a non-accessible folder meaning I cannot reference .exe and .pdf files. Is there a way to make it always install 2 files in the same place, for example the two files which need to be edited install on desktop and the rest of the app in the usual install location? Can I do this using two separate .APPX files?

No, all APPX/MSIX packages are installed/extracted under the ProgramFiles/WindowsApps folder.

This folder is read-only, only the OS can write in there (when it's installing the app). The solution is to copy the files you want from the install folder, the first time a user launches your application.
